As a teacher, I could never recommend this center. This center is loud, filthy and unorganized. Snacks are sparse, and lunches are non-nutritious. As soon as my child attached to a competent adult, it seemed they moved on. I was told by the owner that the center was her cash cow to keep her other businesses going; namely her bar. My child was there 5 months, and I didn't meet the owner until 3 weeks before we withdrew. The afternoons are staffed with high school kids, with no professional staff, and very high ratios. The curriculum consisted of watching cartoons, playing video games and playing on an unsafe playground. There was no air conditioning in the summer. When the last adult I trusted was dismissed on the spot for giving notice, I realized our children and their feelings were not priority. I found my son sitting in the corner after being bitten, with no one attending him one day. We left immediately and never returned. No one even realized he was gone that afternoon. Stay away! There is no good reason for leaving a child there!

I had 2 incidents in less than 1 mo, first didn't have a roster to check against to make sure my daughter was picked up from school (on her regularly scheduled day), and the daycare didn't even realize they hadn't picked her up until I called them. Second, they let her walk out of the daycare with someone who was NOT on the approved list of people to pick her up, actually, they never got her name, asked for ID to even check against the list, didn't check to see if I called to let them know someone else wa picking her up (which I hadn't) and they never called to check with me if she could go!! This facility had NO remorse, thank god, it was a relative that I trusted, but their answer was "We were busy, I'm sorry". They couldn't even had described what she looked like or anything if she had been abducted!! I made a complaint against them with health & welfare. This is UNEXCUSEABLE!!

I was shocked to see a review posted against this organization. I recently enrolled my children at both facilities & safety and supervision was the highest priority. Besides that, they were having a lot of fun. When enrolling your children in "daycare" I anticipated just a place where they were housed, but not at the Youth Center. There are crafts, activities, fun days, field trips, home cooked meals...My wife & I were nothing but impressed. The kids there are respectful of eachother, supportive and everybody is having a good time. My kids recently participated in their luau, and talent show and came home raving about the fun they had. I can barely get them to leave when I pick them up.

The Youth Center is the best place in Middleton for school aged kids. The childcare center is top notch. I'm guessing from the amount of reviews the other poster posted against other businesses that she has a lot of time on her hands.....I've never posted before, but I felt like the truth should be told, Fairytales is the place to be!

The youth center has also come under new management, and the new energy there is incredible. Check it out, with reasonable rates and a great staff, you won't be dissapointed. They also have a new website, www.fairytaleschildcare.net - it's worth taking a look at.

My kids LOVE coming to the youth center. There are so many activities and fun things to do. The staff is awesome, the kids are great, and you get a great deal for your money. I've never worried about what the kids are doing, they're always having fun, and can't wait to go back. We can't wait for summer!

I have no good reviews for Fairy Tales. The children sit around playing video games or watching tv. I have had 2 different parents tell me they pulled their children out of this 'daycare' because of the lack of guidance/supervision.
